\u201cDid you see all the wanted posters that went up?\u201d said the old man at the bar.<\/p>\n
\u201cYup\u201d said the barkeep, \u201cLooks like they got money on another bandit\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, but how come they don\u2019t have no picture? How\u2019s anyone supposed to find \u2018em, let alone turn \u2018em in? seems mighty stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYup\u201d said the barkeep.<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard they want this guy pretty bad, can\u2019t say they didn\u2019t put enough gold on his head. I sure could use that money. Bell needs to retire, she can\u2019t pull that plow no more, and you know my well is running low. Jake\u2019s only got three legs now; missus passed away few years back, might as well just start digging my own grave.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYup\u201d said the barkeep. \u201cThen again just about everyone round here could use it.\u201d<\/p>\n
A third man leans over breaking into the conversation, \u201cDon\u2019t you know who that is?\u201d he asked the two.<\/p>\n
\u201cNope\u201d said the barkeep.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat there is the Black Hand, ya fools.\u201d says the stranger \u201cHow can you not have heard of him here, seems he is everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201dWhat\u2019s so special about this bandit anyway?\u201d says the old man , eyeing up the stranger still covered in road dust.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Black Hand isn\u2019t just a bandit, he is the Bandit King; he has quite the following now. Men and women from all walks of life have flocked to him. Heard he has no regard for nobility, and I can\u2019t say I blame \u2018em neither after hear\u2019in his story\u201d continues the traveler.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell you gonna leave us sittin here, or you gonna tell it?\u201d said the old man.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy throat is mighty dry\u201d he said with a side long glance towards the barkeep.<\/p>\n
